Raising Cane's Is Open in Coral Gables, and Yes, the Hype Is Real

Raising Cane's Is Open in Coral Gables, and Yes, the Hype Is Real

The chicken finger fanatics won: Raising Cane's is officially in Coral Gables. The first Gables location opened at 3600 SW 22nd Street just off Coral Way, complete with a raffle, prizes for the first 100 customers, and a line that told you everything about the hype.

The quick take: chicken fingers, crinkle fries, Texas toast, coleslaw, and the famous Cane's sauce, open late until 2am on weekdays and 3am on weekends. I tried it for the first time at this opening and it is, honestly, some of the best fried chicken I have ever had.

What to Know About the Coral Gables Cane's

This is Raising Cane's first location in Coral Gables proper, in the former Boston Market spot on Coral Way near 36th Avenue. The menu is famously simple: they do one thing (chicken fingers) and do it extremely well. The opening in February 2026 came with a raffle that gave 20 winners free Cane's for a year.

The sleeper detail for the Gables: the late-night hours. Until 2am on weekdays and 3am on weekends, this is now one of the best post-midnight food options in the neighborhood.
